Realme V60 and V60s debut silently with a single 32MP rear camera and Dimenstiy 6300

Realme has silently launched its latest V-series smartphones, the V60 and V60s, in China. Both phones cater to the entry-level 5G segment, offering basic specifications at an affordable price point. Interestingly, despite separate names, the V60 and V60s are pretty much identical in terms of design and hardware. 

The display on both phones is a 6.67-inch HD+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution is a modest 720 x 1604 pixels, and the display can reach a peak brightness of 625 nits. Realme mentions that the screen can also dim down to 1 nit, which is useful for nighttime use.

At the core, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset handles processing duties. This octa-core processor features two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz for performance tasks, alongside six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz for everyday operations. 

The SoC is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. The phone also supports virtual RAM expansion of up to 8GB. 

The operating system is Android 14 with Realme’s custom UI, Realme UI 5.0, pre-installed. Fueling the devices is a 5,000mAh battery which supports 10W charging. 

The rear of the phone has a camera module with four cutouts, but don’t be fooled – it houses a single 32MP sensor and an LED flash. The back maintains a clean look with the “Realme” logo etched at the bottom. 

The front houses an 8MP punch-hole camera for selfies. The overall design is decent for the price range, with minimalist bezels framing the display. Color options for both models are Star Gold and Turquoise.

Pricing is where things get interesting. Although the phones have the same specifications from top to bottom, they are priced differently for some reason. The Realme V60 starts at 1,199 CNY (approximately $175 USD) for the base 6/128GB variant and goes up to 1,399 CNY (approximately $205 USD) for the 8/256GB configuration.

The Realme V60s, on the other hand, starts at a higher price of 1,399 CNY (approximately $205 USD) for the 6/128GB model and reaches 1,799 CNY (approximately $265 USD) for the 8/256GB variant.
